Planning may be the task that most business executives dread. It’s hardly an engaging process and often seems not to be aligned with the goals and activities that seem to matter the most. Worse, the technology used to perform planning doesn’t work very well. But planning is important; organizations need to know across every line of business what is being planned and the associated costs, headcount needed and potential outcomes. Thankfully, planning is in the process of changing, with a new generation of technologies emerging that reside in the cloud and rely on collaboration and mobile technology to make planning processes easier and more engaging. While the fundamentals remain largely the same, the need for more flexible modeling and analytics has resulted in tools that are more sophisticated and easier to use. All of which allows for more time to plan and collaborate among management and managers on reaching their full potential. This new generation of business planning software makes it possible for organizations to plan effectively for what they need but most importantly make sure that they gain value from the process and technology used. The presentations and panel will examine the changes in planning applications markets and the ways in which systems are becoming simpler and more aligned to the business processes that organizations depend on the most.

If you think Planning is hard today….

Imagine trying to Plan, when…..

purchase factor for your products

Sales, Supply Chain, or Statistical, but from Social Media

intelligence driven by 20 billion interconnected devices
